Fisher Price made several of these Pop-Up Kritters in the 1930s. Some of them are so incredibly rare that I’ve never even seen them in person. However, I have managed to snag a few of them.
Here are some of my Favorites
#400 Tailspin Tabby made in 1931
Tailspin Tabby Came with a Poem:
Tailspin Tabby is my name
Action is my Claim to Fame
Who Can resist my tail to twist
To pass me up would be a shame

#405 Lofty Lizzy made in 1931
#407 Stoopy Storky made in 1931
#410 Dizzy Dino made in 1931
#415 Lop-Ear Looie made in 1934
#433 Dizzy Donkey made in 1939
Most of these toys were assembled on a "guitar" shaped paddle as shown in my pictures. A very few were also mounted on a round "banjo" shaped paddle. These are worth a small fortune. I managed to get my hands on a banjo paddle once....just the paddle...no Kritter was attached to it. Someone offered me $300 for just the paddle. Like a fool, I accepted his offer.
